Problem Statement

● When nurses are busy, it becomes difficult for them to run around and check in on many
patients.

● It is difficult for a nurse to keep track of all information such as:

○ Patient identification
○ Drop factors
○ Saline concentration
Existing Products

● Company: Shift Labs

● Product: DripAssist
● Cost: $519.99

● Problems:
○ Bulky
○ Security Issues
○ No centralized data management
○ Still requires nurse to walk to every room
Value Proposition and Customer Segment

We present a small add on device to any IV setup that securely monitors volume and flow rate
which is wirelessly displayed on a GUI.

Important Customers:

● Hospitals
○ Infirmary
○ Operating Room
● Veterinary Clinics

 Server/GUI Operation Overview

● Start-up GUI and server ● Client attempts to connect

● Server creates a patient object
on seperate threads ● Client is prompted for a password
● Server appends the patient object to a
● Client enters setup mode and sends
list of connected clients
the password and name of the
client

● Client receives server

● Server iterates through the acknowledgement that data can
client list and prompts for be sent
data from each client ● Timestamp,volume,volume flow

Conclusion

● Additional Desired Features:

○ Feedback control that controls a motor that clamps the IV line to adjust flow rate from the GUI
○ Small UI on the device that aids in WiFi setup on the microcontroller and displays status of the
microcontroller (data mode vs setup mode)
○ Push notifications to display on the GUI
● Further Improvements:
○ Make the device smaller and lighter
○ Make a custom PCB for the electronics
